Longhaul

Longhaul is a young indie rock band from Horwich, Greater Manchester, built on infectious energy and genuine musicianship. The lineup: Theo Jones on rhythm guitar and vocals (16), Max Knight on drums (13), Fern O’Brien on bass (15), Jack Bundy on guitar (17). Represents a rare breed of teenage musicians who are already experienced in live performances and earned credibility on the festival stage.

The band has quickly established itself on the local festival circuit, performing at Horwich Rox, Bolton Food and Drink Festival, and Horwich Festival, earning their place among the emerging acts defining the North West’s live music scene. Drawing influence from Fontaines D.C., the timeless swagger of Oasis, and the raw intensity of Arctic Monkeys, Longhaul channels that same catchy quality and unpolished urgency into their performances.

With original material currently in development, the band is positioning itself as more than a covers act, building something distinctly their own while maintaining the electric, no-nonsense approach that’s won over festival crowds across Greater Manchester. Longhaul headlines The Ramp in Horwich in November alongside other emerging local acts, cementing their status as one of the region’s most exciting young bands.
